Interviews

3DN: Could you briefly introduce yourself and explain how you got into 3D printing?  I’m Edgaras Janušauskas, and my path into 3D printing began through education. Early in my career, I worked as a teacher, helping students explore programming, electronics…

3D design and printing make for a powerful combination in the world of furniture. Thanks to additive manufacturing, it is now possible to turn creative concepts into functional pieces using almost any material and reducing production times. In this article,…

3D modeling is now at the heart of many industries, from video games and animation to additive manufacturing. However, it is not always easy to implement and can sometimes be ill-suited to real-world conditions. This is precisely the challenge that…

At TCT Asia, 3Dnatives met with Francesco Spinoglio, General Manager of L3AD, to discuss how the company is transforming industrial 3D printing into a highly accessible digital ecosystem. Moving beyond simple instant-quote services, L3AD acts as a complete operating platform…

At the TCT Asia trade show, we had the opportunity to meet Raise3D, one of the long-standing manufacturers in the 3D printing market. While it has won over many users with its FDM solutions, the company has expanded into resin…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly finding its place in healthcare, enabling the creation of patient-specific anatomical models that give surgeons a deeper understanding of complex cases before they ever enter the operating room. By transforming MRI and other medical imaging data…

As additive manufacturing moves into production, the conversation is starting to change. Instead of asking whether a part can be printed, manufacturers are asking whether they can print it the same way every time. More often than expected, the answer…

Additive manufacturing promises lighter parts, complex geometries and faster production for aerospace. But in aviation, printing a component is the easy part. Proving it will survive in operation is what determines whether it is ever approved for service. A component…

Over the past decade, Raise3D has established itself as a key player in professional polymer 3D printing. Initially known for its FDM systems, the company has progressively expanded its portfolio to address a wider range of industrial needs, entering the…

Manufacturing Technology Project (MTP) is an American start-up dedicated to developing engineering tools. These tools combine artificial intelligence, multiphysics simulation, and digital twins to optimize manufacturing processes and predictive modeling, with the ultimate goal of offering autonomous production control. Its…

In aerospace additive manufacturing, you expect the story to start with rockets. This one starts with an ink cartridge. Years before working on aerospace antenna systems, Garrett Hawkins was a high school student measuring a printer cartridge with calipers, recreating…

It’s almost unrealistic to think that additive manufacturing can achieve this level of detail, don’t you think? And yet, you’re not dreaming: technology makes it possible to recreate body parts, skin models, and organs that are extremely faithful to reality.…
